@drdrang@fosstodon.org @mjtsai@mastodon.social @bgeerdes@mastodon.cloud @gruber@mastodon.social Yes, it's in the 1987 HIG mentioning left-to-right, top-to-bottom with the most commonly used button in the bottom right. Mac keyboards prior to ADB (SE/II) didn't even have an Escape key. (There's a great HIG archive on GitHub; see https://github.com/gingerbeardman/apple-human-interface-guidelines/blob/main/1987%20Apple%20Human%20Interface%20Guidelines%20-%20The%20Apple%20Desktop%20Interface.pdf).

@nriley@mstdn.social Thank you for the source. Apple itself violates this a lot in iOS. Apparently it’s intended behaviour because they really don’t want you to accept it by accident. Things like profile installation dialogs.
